Looks like it must have involved and issue with a switch.Exactly. The train was backing into Steamtown Yard for Saturday's night photo session. The east truck of Lackawanna 550 went one way and the west truck went the other way. The crew wasn't paying attention, and when the tracks became farther apart than the trucks, the derailment occurred. |
